don't you have any reasonable public transportation? I thought there is a
train going along the coast connecting major cities (?).

Generally speaking, we don't have trains like exist in Europe, Japan, and
perhaps elsewhere. I know there's a high-speed rail on the East Coast, but
as far as I know, nothing like that on the West Coast.

So, in answer to your question, no...generally speaking we have no
"reasonable public transportation". There are certainly exceptions in
certain metro areas, but as a rule, Americans prefer to spend tax dollars on
pavement, not trains and buses.
